Simon Cowell: Citáty v angličtine

“Normally, they want me to be rude to them.”

Quoted in interview, Playboy magazine (February 2007)
2000s
Kontext: Normally, they want me to be rude to them. People come up to me and sing, and I say "That was great. Thank you." And they're like "Well, aren't you going to be rude to me?" No! When I miss auditions, contestants get upset that I'm not there, because they expect me to be cruel to them — it's some sort of badge of honor. That's how crazy everything is.

“Very simple. I'm putting up the money, and I also have ears.”
